To my disappointment she does not work in the weed industry so I'm now at a 50% average. But she was a lot of fun. After our cruise we sadly had to move hostels due to ours being full.

The next morning, another similar eruption and flow engulfed Pompei sealing the remaining residents fate. Most who fled, and many people in close surrounding towns also died, not as a result of the lava and ash, but rather from the poisonous gases that blew in the wind. We start to explore the city.
